My kernel version, with security updates, is currently 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.i686 The build needed utilities that I did not have installed; the script provided their names but apologised for its inability to identify the packages that would provide them because it did not recognise the distro. This list is in response to its invitation to submit details. Utility: lsdiff Package name: patchutils Repo: SL6 Utility: Digest::SHA Package name: perl-Digest-SHA Repo: SL6 security updates Utility: Proc::ProcessTable Package name: perl-Proc-ProcessTable Repo: SL6 epel After installing these, and the kernel-devel package, the build completed and I have been able to bring into service a usb device that had resisted my earlier efforts on the nominally more up-to-date Fedora 14. dmesg identifies it as a 'KWorld UB499-2T T09(IT9137)' and some characteristics that I see are not mentioned on its wiki page. I'll report on that separately, but there's a narrative account here: http://www.mail-archive.com/atrpms-users@atrpms.net/msg09417.html Thanks! John Pilkington
